magazine without being confronted with an alleged authentic present- 
ment of the lines, details or sail plan of one or the other boat. From 
the standpoint of the sensational newspaper, there may be some 
excuse for the dishonesty of these "fake" plans; but there can be 
none whatever for the ignorance and stupidity which characterize 
them, one and all. While the exact lines and dimensions of the two 
new boats are still secret so far as newspaper men are concerned, it is 
no difficult matter, from such details as are known, backed by a knowl- 
edge of yachts in general, and of the recent Herreshoff and Watson 
boats in particular, to construct a design that would be at least pos- 
sible and plausible, however far from the truth it might finally prove 
to be. Such pictures as the alleged section of Valkyrie III. and the 
same yacht under sail, both of which appeared last week in a leading 
New York paper, would awaken the contempt of any intelligent boy 
who was familiar with yachts. 
The meeting of Britannia and Ailsa on the Thames has resulted in 
two victories for the former, and it is said that Ailsa's alterations 
have not improved her. The victories of Britannia, though unlooked 
for, confirm the opinion we have held that some very thorough trials, 
in addition to the Mediterranean races, will be necessary to deter- 
mine just how much faster the yacht of 1895 is over that of 1893, 
Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. 
The fourth regular meeting of the Seawanhaka Corinthian T. 0. was 
held on May 14 at the Brunswick, the club being without a town house 
for the present until new quarters are obtained. Com. Benedict pre- 
sided. The race committee reported in full the result of their corre- 
spondence with Mr. Brand, the substance of which is given in the fol- 
lowing circular: 
As has already been informally announced the Seawanhaka Corin- 
thian Y. C. has offered a challenge cup for the encouragement of 
international contests between small yachts, and has empowered its 
race committee to define the general conditions under which the cup is 
offered, and the regulations governing the competition therefor. The 
race committee has decided upon the following general conditions 
governing the cup, and the following general regulations for the con- 
trol of tbe races to be sailed this year, subject to such modifications 
of detail as may be agreed upon with the challenger: 
I. The cup shall be a perpetual international challenge cup. The 
Seawanhaka Corinthian Y . C. shall have the custody of the cup in the 
first instance, and every challenge shall be through some recognized 
yacht club of a foreign country, and the cup when won shall be de- 
livered to and held by the club through which the challenge was 
made. 
II. A challenging yacht sball be met by only one competitor. 
III. The races shall not be less than three nor more than five in num- 
ber, tbe cup to be taken by the winner of the majority. 
IV. The American courses, while the cup remains in the custody of 
the Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C, shall be on the waters of Long 
Island Sound in the vicinity of Oyster Bay, or in the bay itself. They 
shall consist of a triangular course and a course to windward or lee- 
ward and return. For the 15ft. class, each leg of the triangular course 
shall be 2 nautical miles in length and shall be sailed over twice, mak- 
ing a total of 12 miles. The course to windward or leeward and return 
shall be 3 nautical miles to each leg and shall be sailed over twice, 
making a total of 12 miles. 
V. The start shall be a one gun flying start. 
VI. The races shall be sailed without time allowance. 
VII. The challenge cup is offered this year for yachts of not exceed- 
ing 15ft. racing length (S. C. Y. C. measurement). 
The formula for determining racing length under the 8. C. Y. C. 
rules is as follows: K^+_^M^ =Racing L6ng th. 
« 
VIII. In the 15ft. class yachts shall be measured without crew on 
board, but instead thereof a weight of 3001bs. shall be carried amid- 
ships during measurement to represent the crew. 
IX All ballast shall be fixed. (Weighted centerboards shall be 
considered fixed ballast.) 
X. No outrigger or other outboard mechanical device for carrying 
livfi ballast to windward shall be allowed. 
XL In determining sail area a system of measurement shall be em- 
ployed which will give, as nearly as possible, the actual number of 
square feet thereof. Sails shall be limited to mainsail, jibs and spin- 
aker. Tbe combined area of mainsail and of the jib used in windward 
work shall constitute the factor of sail area in determining racing 
length. 
XII. The helmsman and crew shall be amateurs, and the total 
number of persons on board shall be limited to two. 
XIII. Future competitions for the cup sball be limited to yachts of 
classes from 15 to 25ft. racing length, both inclusive. 
Mr. J. Arthur Brand, of 34 Gresham street, London E. O, has chal- 
lenged through the Minima Y. C, one of the leading English racing 
clubs, for small yachts, under the conditions above mentioned with 
his new yacht Spruce IV. (to be constructed), of the English half 
rater class, or the loft, racing length, S. C. Y. C. measurement, a 
above defined. 
Mr. Brand's challenge has been accepted. The precise dates of th 
races have not yet been fixed, but they will be set for as early a day 
in September as can be agreed upon with him. 
Mr. Brand is a well-known and very successful racing man in the 
smaller classes, and undertakes his visit to this country purely in the 
interest of the sport, to which he is enthusiastically devoted. We feel 
sure that he will receive from all American yacht clubs and yachts- 
•m»n the warm welcome to which his character and enterprise entitle 
him. He is anxious that as many open races as possible shall be 
arranged, in which he may participate with his Spruce IV. 
The defense of tbe cup is open to yachts owned by members of the 
yacht clubs of the United States in good standing, and trial races will 
be held during the month of August, at dates to be hereafter an- 
nounced, to determine the choice of the defender. 
The Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. earnestly desires to interest other 
yacht clubs in providing for the defense of the cup, and also in ar- 
ranging for open races in which Mr. Brand may participate, and re- 
quests that the subject may be brought, as fully as possible, to the 
attention of all members of the several clubs, who may be likely to 
interest themselves either in building new boats for the defense of the 
cup, or in taking part with existing boats in the open races that may 
be arranged. 
As soon as the precise dates of the trial races can be decided upon 
and other details settled that may be of interest to those who expect 
to participate either in that contest, or in such open races as may be 
offered, another circular will be issued, and the race committee of the 
Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. will be at all times very glad to give 
any information in their power to, or to confer personally with, any 
one who may be interested in the subject. They may be communi- 
cated with at the addresses given below. Race committee: Oliver E. 
Cromwell, chairman, 48 Exchange place; Charles W. Wetmore, 35 
Wall street; Walter C. Kerr, 26 Cortland street; Valentine Mott, M.D., 
62 Madison avenue; Charles A. Sherman, secretary, 64 Leonard street. 
The special committee on the uniform racing rules presented a re- 
port recommending the adoption of a racing length classification and 
certain other changes, which were substantially adopted, as below. 
The race committee, through the chairman, Mr. Cromwell, strongly 
urged the adoption of several changes to accord with the rules 
recently adopted by the Yacht Racing Union. A resolution was 
passed favoring the adoption of a sixty per cent, allowance table, but 
the change could not be made at the meeting, not having been adver- 
tised in the notice of the meeting. The club ratified the action of its 
representatives in joining the Y. R. U. The following amendments to 
the racing were adopted: 
To amend Rule XX., Section 2, by inserting the two following- 
courses: 
1. The Sound Triangular Course.— From the starting line N.W. by W. 
5 miles to and around a mark about 1 mile S. by W. from Greenwich 
Point, keeping it on the Btarboard hand; thence E, % N. 5 miles to and 
around a mark about 1|£ miles off Long Neck Point, keeping it on the 
Btarboard hand: thence S.S.W. 5 miles to and around the stakeboat, 
keeping it on the starboard hand; course to be sailed over twice, 30 
nautical miles. 
2. The Shippan Triangular Course.— From the starting line due 
north 5 miles to and around Cowes buoy, keeping it on the starboard 
hand; thence E. }^ S., 2 miles to and around a mark about 1% miles 
off Long Neck Point, keeping it on the starboard hand; course' to be 
sailed over twice, 24 nautical miles. 
The race committee may, in their discretion, direct any courss to be 
sailed in the reverse direction. 
To further amend Rule XX , Section 2, by changing the name of the 
"Bell Buoy Triangular Course" to the "Oyster Bay Triangular Course." 
To further amend Rule XX. by adJing a new section thereto, to read 
as follows: 
Section 4. When courses are announced to be sailed over twice, the 
race committee may terminate the race at the end of the first round, 
if in tbelr judgment the weather conditions make it advisable, and the 
time allowance shall be shortened accordingly. 
The signal for so terminating a race shall be the letter B of the sig- 
nal code, displayed from the committee boat, or in case of fog or dark 
ness, five long blasts on the steam whistle. 
To amend Rule II. so that it shall read as follows: 
CLASSIFICATION. 
Yachts shall be classified by racing length, as ascertained by meas- 
urement under the Seawanhaka rule; in all classes other than Class I. 
of each rig, the upper limit of the class to be that designated by the 
name of the class: 
Schooners— Class I., all over 95ft. ; 96ft. class, 85ft. class, 75ft. class, 
65ft. class. 
Sloops, cutters and yawls— Class I., all over 80ft.: 80ft. class, 70ft. 
class, 60ft. class, 50ft. class, 43ft. class, 36ft. class, 30ft. class, 25ft. class, 
20ft. class, 15ft. class. 
The race committee shall have power to class all catboats, jib-and- 
mainsail boats, and other craft not included in the above classes. 
To amend Rule III. by the addition after the word "amidships" in 
the second paragraph, of the following sentence: In the 15ft. class 
yachts shall be measured with a weight of 3001bs. on board, placed 
amidship to represent the crew. 
To further amend Rule TH. as follows: In the second paragraph 
strike out the words "gafftopsail block or sheave on topmast" and 
insert the words "the sheave of the highest halliard on the topmast" 
in place thereof. In the fifth paragraph to substitute in place of the 
words "topsail halliard block or sheave" the words "sheave of the 
highest halliard sheave on the topmast." To insert after the fifth 
paragraph a new one as follows: "In pole-masted vessels and in those 
not carrying topmasts, the distance between the under side of the 
sheave in the throat halliard block and the under side of the sheave 
of the uppermost halliard, shall be used in determining the length of 
the base line In the same way as is the length of topmast where one 
is carried, In yachts which do not carry any headsail, the forward 
point of measurement for the baseline shall be the after side of the 
mast, or of the foremast, if there is more than one mast. 
To further amend Rule in by the addition, at the end of the flrBt 
section, of the following: 
"Where, in any case, owing to a peculiarity of rig, the sail area of 
a yacht cannot, in the opinion of the measurer, be fairly measured in 
the customary way, he may, with the sanction of the race committee, 
instead of this take such measurements as will enable him to compute 
the actual area of sail carried, or that may be carried, on the spars 
used. 
"The customary method of measuring shall, however, be adhered to 
in all cases where practicable, and where the leach or luff of a sail is 
extended beyond a straight line, or where, as in a lug mansail, the 
luff extends forward of the mast, or the head is rounded, the area 
increased in this way shall be added to that obtained by the custom- 
ary measurement and the square root extracted." 
To further amend Rule III by the addition of a new section, 3: 
If any yacht by alteration of trim or immersion by deadweight 
shall increase her waterline length ; or if she shall ia any way increase 
her spar or sail measurement as officially taken, she must obtain a re- 
measurement. 
To amend Rule X. so that it shall read as follows; 
CREWS. 
Section 1. The total number of persons aboard a yacht in a race 
shall not exceed the allowance in the following schedule: 
Schooners.— Class I., one person for every 2ft. of racing length or 
fraction thereof; 95ft. class, 32; 85ft. class, 29; 75ft. class, 19; 65ft. 
class, 13. 
Sloops, cutters and yawls.— Class I., three persons for every 5ft. of 
racing length or fraction thereof; 80ft. class, 27; 70ft. class, 18; 60ft.

To amend Rule XXVI so that it shall read as follows: 
Section 1. Floors must be left down, and bulkheads and doors left 
standing; water tanks in place, and at least one bower anchor and 
cable kept on board; neither ballast nor water shall be taken in or dis- 
charged after 9 P. M. of the day preceding a race; but this restriction 
may be waived as to water only by permission of the Race Committee. 
Trimming by deadweight shall not be allowed after the prepratory 
signal. 
Make present Section 4 Section 2. 
To amend Rule XXXIII. hy inserting the word "first" before the 
word "crosses" in the third line of Section 2. 
Corinthian Y. C. Ocean Race. 
The Corinthian Y. C, of Atlantic City, encouraged by the great suc- 
cess of its open ocean race of laBt year, has arranged a similar race 
for the present season, which will be sailed on July 26. In order to 
call the attention of yachtsmen, the following invitations have been 
sent by the secretary, Chester Adams, 815 Atlantic avenue, Atlantic 
City, N. J. ; the first to yacht clubs and the second to all yachtsmen 
whose boats were eligible and whose addresses could be obtained. 
The race will be open to all yachts, and the harbor will admit those 
of 7ft. 6in. at ^ tide. The entrance fee of $10 will be returned to all 
bona fide contestants. Yachtsmen who undertake the trip to Atlantic 
City may be certain of a cordial welcome. 
Dear Sir: The hotels, railroad companies and residents are provid- 
ing funds, which will be placed in the hands of the Corinthian Y. C. , for 
furnishing prizes for the proposed open ocean regatta, scheduled to be 
sailed off Atlantic City, N. J., on July 26 next, under the auspices of 
this club. 
You are hereby respectfully requested to present to the Yacht 
Club our most cordial invitation for it to participate with its fleet in 
the race mentioned, or to send such representative yachts as may be 
able to come. A warm and hearty welcome will be extended to each 
and all accepting. 
Invitations have been sent out to 250 yacht owners individually; but 
as it was impossible to get a complete list of all owners of yachts 
drawing less than 7ft., many must have failed to receive special invi- 
tations. Should there be any such in your club, will you kindly bring 
this Invitation to their personal notice, as explaining why they have 
not received the special invitation. 
The race will be sailed at sea, the start and finish to be outside the 
bar, and, if possible, made to windward and return over a 20 nau- 
tical mile course. All classes above 18ft, 1. w. 1. may enter. 
There is an entrance fee of $10 for each yacht, which will be re- 
funded after the race, provided the yacht sailed over the course 
specified or should an accident prevent her from doing so. Should 
any yacht drop out of the race for any other reason, the said sum 
shall be forfeited. 
The race sailed under our auspices last year was so encouraging 
that we have determined to make this race an even greater attraction 
to all true lovers of our sport of yachting. 
Dear Sir: Last year the Corinthian Y. C, of Atlantie\)ity, sent out 
invitations to yacht owners of prominent clubs to participate in an 
open ocean race. 
The result was so encouraging that we propose to give under our 
auspices another race to be sailed on July 26, 1895. We appeal 
directly to you, requesting that if at all possible, you will join us in 
our endeavor to awaken that interest in our sport, south of Sandy 
Hook, which should exist, by entering and sailing your yacht on the 
day selected, and by using your personal influence to get other yacht 
owners to do likewise. The race will be sailed on the open sea and 
over a 20 nautical mile course, 
Ample prizes will be furnished for all classes of cabin yachts. The 
impetus given by last year's race to yachting in our waters proved so 
gratifying that this year four newly built yachts will participate with 
those which entered for last year's race, and others, that will come for 
the first time during this season. 
The club is working hard to create a widespread interest in yacht- 
ing, and if successful it will make this annual race a fixture, with in- 
creasing value in prizes, I earnestly hope you will endeavor to be 
present and participate with your yacht. Your welcome will be most 
hearty and sincere, and I am sure you will make a special effort, when 
I say that this personal appeal to'you, if successful, will greatly aid 
the welfare and prosperity of yachting on our coast, which we have 
endeavored to encourage. Every arrangement has been made for vis- 
iting yacht owners to secure, by prompt delivery, marketing, ice, fresh 
water, pilotage (one-half rate), etc., and only yachts that can safely 
cross our bar will receive this invitation. 
The date selected for the race, July 26, gives all yacht owners ample 
time after the race to proceed to Glen Cove, L. I., the rendezvous of 
the New York Y. C, and follow it in its runs to New London and New- 
port. 
Any information desired will most cheerfully be given. 
"Floaty." 
Washington, D. C , May 20.— Editor Forest and Stream: Some time 
ago there appeared in your paper a few new yachting terms and ex- 
pressions, among others the word "floaty." I send by mail to you a 
copy of "Proceedings of the U. S. Naval Institute," 1880. Look on 
page 382 and I think you will see that the term "floaty" at least is 
quite an "antique." Jas. S. Jouett. 
[ 1 he citation iB from Fuller's "Worthies of England," published in 
the year 1662, and reads: "The Dutch build their ships so floaty and 
buoyant they have little hold in the water, in comparison of ours, 
which keep the better wind, and so outsail them, "J 
Centerhoard and Keel. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Once again through your impartial paper I ask after years of 
silence, what has become of the American oenterboard sloop? If all 
reports are correct the Cup defender of 95 bids fair to be a full- 
fledged keel craft, lacking only the runninsr bowsprit to make her a 
complete cutter. What a treat that would be for C. P. K. were he 
with us. What a square back-down and what an acknowledgment of 
the superiority of British ideas. It carries me back In my thoughts 
to the days of the cutter Saxon or Kitten of Boston, Madge and Mag- 
gie, Winona, Oriva, Bedouin. How the old Saxon was hooted at tor 
her narrow beam and low weight and cutter rig, but how the British 
have clung to what they contended and landed on top in the struggle 
for supremacy of yachting ideas. 
What a sorry exhibition our last and greatest of centerboard sloops 
the Vigilant, made on the other side of the ocean. The mighty Her- 
reshoffwas forced to succumb and appropriate the methods of his 
conqueror— Watson— having exhausted all methods known to him of 
building a superior centerboard sloop. 
For years I have been an admirer of Herreshoff until he designed 
the three large sloops in '93, That he should attempt to give stability 
for sail carrying power by the use of weighted centerboards to ves 
sels of such cross sections as the Navahoe and Vigilant surprises me 
exceedingly. That he should design a straight bottom to keels sur 
prised me still more, and when he added the extreme cutaway fore- 
foot and enormous overhanging bow I think he was decidedly lacking 
in the essentials for successful design. ' 
Faulty as is the design of the Vigilant I do not think she has been at 
her best. Hang her lead lower by the addition of a rocker keel; fill in 
her forefoot considerably so that she can carry her old head sails 
effectively to windward and she will yet prove a tough customer 
Give the Colonia a chance, deepen her forefoot, fill in that hollow and 
rocker her keel, she carries her sail well enough without much deepen- 
ing amidships. Make a keel of the Navahoe and fill in her forefoot, 
and I will risk her against the Britannia. The board is of no use to 
her, her cross section is not adapted to loaded centerboard for stabil- 
ity, but those sea spanking bows cannot be remedied. Gen. Paine 
found out the weakness of these bows in the Jubilee. Nothing would 
stay in her aloft for a certainty. She pounded tbe blocks to pieces 
aloft and smashed the jams of her gaff, she labored so badly. 
He learned his lesson by experience, so does not lengthen her on deck, 
but on the waterline only, and I have no doubt of great improvement 
in every direction. The days of these long overhangs are going, and 
the days of moderate overhangs, with good forward grips, are coming 
again with the centerboard sloop. Thistle's weight was more than 3ft. 
lower than the Volunteer's, but the centerboard won and carried 
more canvas in hard weather. I am on record as a firm believer in the 
centerboard sloop, and feel convinced that a centerboard sloop of the 
waterline length of the defender can be built that will easily outsail 
the lot, but she would have no abnormal overhangs, nor her forefoot 
so cut away or S cross section, nor bulb lead. 
Take the Volunteer: her forefoot is admirable, and proportionate 
for the overhang it has to carry; fill out the hollow lines forward, 
harden her bilge at the turn, take the hollow out of her cross section 
and deep sn her to 14ft, with rocker keel and loaded board dropped 
bodily (Vigilant's should be used this way, if at all), and I would risk 
her in any weather to win a large proportion of her races.

The Thames Regattas. 
The racing season in British waters opened on May 17-18 on the 
Thames, the result in each case being a victory of Britannia over 
Ailsa. Since the return from the Mediterranean, Ailsa has had some 
changes made, lead being added to her keel and the weights of spars 
and rigging reduced. It is reported also that changes have been made 
in Britannia, but no details are given. 
The New Thames Y. C. regatta,~on May 17, was sailed over a course 
from the Lower Hope around the Mouse and back to Gravesend for 
all of 40-rating and over, the iO-raters rounding the West Oaze Buoy 
in place of the Mouse. There was a. strong northwest wind, and the 
day was cold and cloudy. Ailsa was rated at 168 and Britannia at 152, 
the allowance being 2m. lis., while Ailsa allowed the 40-raters 35m. 
15s. The 40-raters were the new Watson boat Caress and the new 
Fife boat Isolde. In the 20-rating class were Audrey. Lord Dunraven ; 
Stephanie, Prince Batthyany-Strattman, and Luna, F. B Jameson. 
Ailsa started on the gun in the weather berth, Britannia, however, 
passed her and finished at 3:47:50, winning by 2m. 42s. elapsed and 4m. 
53s. corrected. Caress finished at 4:27:00 and Isolde at 4:29:02. The 
start was made under jibheaders, but Ailsa was forced to house her 
topmast. 
The Royal Thames Y. C. regatta next day had the same course and 
entries, with Namasa and Maid Marion (Yarana) in a handicap match, 
and Carina, 40-rater, in the large class. The day was cloudy, with 
rain at times, and a very variable northeast wind. The start was 
made under clubtopsails, Ailsa leading by 25s. over the line. Britan- 
nia took the lead off Southend, the outer mark being timed: Britan- 
nia 1:53:30. Ailsa 1:54:14. The finish was timed: Britannia 3:55:00, 
Ailsa 3:56:00. Isolde beat Caress by 3m. 55s. The alterations to Ailsa 
were of a nature to increase her stability, but from all accounts she is 
less stable than before. 
Miramichi Y. C.

It was resolved that the Thomas D. Adams silver cup be held as a 
permanent racing trophy, to be raced for annually, the winner to hold 
it till the next year's race. 
The following events were decided upon for the yachting season of 
1895: May 24, rendezvous at Mill Cove in the forenoon, and sail to 
whatever point may be chosen ; June 6, triangular race; July 1, cruise 
down river; July 4,"race from Chatham to Newcastle and back for the 
Thomas D. Adams cup, starting at 11 A. M. ; Aug. 5, race from Black 
trook to Oak Point and back for the Stewart flag; Sept. 7, triangular 
race off Chatham for the Gould cup, starting at 2 P. M.; Oct. 3, race 
from Newcastle to Chatham, starling at 11 A. M. 
The club voted to buy a $100 trophy to be sailed for. 
The Norwalk Y. C. 
The Norwalk C. C. has been reorganized and incorporated under 
the laws of Connecticut as the Norwalk Y. C, with officers: Com., G, 
E. Bogart; Vice-Corn., A. E. Chasmar; Sec y, C. T. Dimond; Treas., J 
C. Green. 
Last fall the club purchased a piece of ground at Wilson's Cove, L. 
I. Sound, just west of Wilson's Point, Norwalk, Conn. 
During tne winter a handsome three-story club house has been built, 
which will be opened on Decoration Day with races during the day 
and refreshments and dancing in the evening. 
The membership is sixty, with a fleet of three canoes, four canoe- 
yawls, five St. Lawrence skiffs, five sloops from 21 to 30ft. and two 
naphtha launches. 
Good auchorage ground, shelter and plenty of water make the loca- 
tion a good one, and within three minutes' walk are the electric cars 
which run to South Norwalk and Norwalk. 
Club house bears 8 miles N.W. from Sheffield Island Light, showing 
club flag— a white burgee with red border, with the letter N in a circle 
of rays in blue. Night signal two red lights placed horizontally. 
Hospitality is extended to visiting yachtsmen.
